Specs:
These adjustable, universal-fit towing mirrors expand your field of vision so you can better see your trailer or anything else that is behind you. The ratcheting strap system gives you a snug fit that reduces mirror vibration. Because the mirror arms adjust into several shapes, they can be attached to a variety of vehicles. Each of the mirrors' mounting arms is jointed behind the mirrors so the arms pivot inward or outward. 2 Additional joints in the middle of each arm add further adjustability so you get the perfect fit.
Built-in clips on the arms will grab the lip between the glass on your factory mirrors and the factory housing. These clips are also adjustable to fit the thickness of your mirror housing.
The ratcheting system uses heavy-duty rubber straps to tighten the towing mirrors securely over your existing mirrors. Quick-release buttons in the middle of the ratchet levers allow you to unlock the ratchet mechanism for fast strap adjustment or easy removal of the mirrors. When you install the towing mirrors, use the ratchet levers to tighten the straps. When you have the straps securely on your mirrors, close the ratchet covers over the ratchets to lock them in place.
Ball joints behind the mirrors allow you to manually adjust the mirror faces to different viewing angles. You can also turn each entire mirror face to a horizontal or vertical position - whatever works best for your application. Rubber pads on the straps protect the back of your factory mirrors to prevent scratches when these mirrors are installed for towing. Tools and other hardware aren't needed for installation, and the tight fit means there is no danger of losing these mirrors on the side of the road. You'll be ready to travel in minutes, and the increased field of vision will allow you to cruise the highways stress free.

I’ve used these on my ‘18 Jeep JL for about 4,000 miles. They seem sturdy and easy to use. Since the Jeep has such small mirrors, and I didn’t want the extension mirrors coming off, I placed three small screws to give them more stability.
Roger K - 06/08/2021They fit perfectly on my 2015 Chevy Colorado Truck, and they are very stable. I thought the price was very reasonable. Easy to install and remove.
Robert J - 10/15/2020A four-star review. Three-star for the fit on my 2007 4Runner, possibly five-star (or not) for your different make and model. The details: quality materials; gripped the mirror frame solidly; nice mirror, convex but not excessively so, ball mount aiming. A little vibration blurred the image slightly at highway speed, but that could be just for my make and model, YMMV. Not an easy install the first time; the directions are there but it took a little thought and trial and error to get the straps figured out and everything adjusted and tightened down. Removal is a piece of cake and the second time I installed them it was a breeze. Biggest drawback for my fourth gen 4Runner is that the mounting fingers overlap the working face of the mirror frame and limit how far the OEM mirrors can be adjusted within the frame, so while you get a great view from the convex trailer mirrors, depending on your seating position the OEM mirrors may no longer be adjustable to view the horizon behind you. Whatever; I'm keeping them because they're far better than the suction-fastened trailer mirrors I had been using.
James - 12/22/2020I received the product in just a few days. The mirrors installed easily and fit securely. I haven’t had the opportunity to actually use them while towing anything but they seem to be exactly what I was looking for. I’ll update this review after I have the chance to actually use the mirrors but I think I’m still hoping to be pleased with this purchase.
Mark E - 07/05/2021Feels decently built. Mirror is distorted, vibrates some and is like a right side mirror that makes images smaller and more distant looking. But I read the reviews and expected all that I got. If these stay on for 1300 mile trip to NY, then 1300 back to Florida I will be pleased. They will give me what I need, a view wider than my regular mirrors. Because of reading reviews, I also affixed ties as a safety so if they come off I won't lose them. I have one on and am driving around every where with it. The Florida temps are going from 70 to 92-95. That will give me a good idea if they will stay put. Until someone comes up with a nice affordable replace for my OEM mirrors, these will work!
Daniel - 05/25/2020Beware of buying anything from etrailer! I ordered these mirrors and they do not fit. I had two etrailer employees tell me that based on the pictures I sent them that they do fit! Only one strap is holding the mirror on as the second strap slides off the car factor mirror.
Heather A - 05/22/2018Great way to extend your view. Used on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Helps me see a bit farther around my 19’ Airstream. The ratchet mechanism clamps down on the mirror frame, making it pretty secure. I did experience slipping if I tried to have them setup farther out, but no issues if I keep the clamps along the top section of my car’s mirrors. Have about 4-5K miles on them so far, with highway driving up to 70mph. I keep my mirrors in a portrait orientation rather than the landscape orientation.
Jeff W - 10/21/2020These work very well even though they don't fit my mirrors perfectly. The outermost strap is really just stabilizing things while the innermost strap is actually holding the mirror in place. They really don't move and vibrate even at highway speeds. I bought them to replace a set that just had rubber straps (no ratchet mechanism) and those were barely usable. I've had these for a year and they're wonderful. Highly recommend.
After extensive searching and meticulous scrutiny I chose the K Source trailering mirrors. I chose them because of their design features. The pivots in the mounting arms, the thickness of the arms, the system design using a track guided wide finger to locate n the truck's mirror edge, the width and thickness of the straps to secure the mirrors, and the design and quality of the ratchet and quick release system. I felt certain these were quality mirrors and I would get what I paid for. I mounted them and was very pleased with the ease and rigidness of the installation. I went out and ran down the interstate at 65 mph there was not vibration or shake of the assembly or mirrors. I got home and found the installation was rock solid after the test. I removed the mirrors and found there was no scratching or rub marks on the truck's factory mirrors. I got what I paid for and they are worth every penny. I AM SO PLEASED WITH THESE MIRRORS!!. Thank you very much etrailer.com.
Ordered the KS3891 towing mirrors for my 2012 Lincoln MKX. There weren't many choices for towing mirrors for this model MKX and chose these. There also weren't any photos of these mirrors mounted on either an MKX or Ford Edge, so I'm attaching some to this review. I have only towed my 13' travel trailer for 8 miles since I installed these towing mirrors. Thus far, these are my favorite of the three different tow mirrors I have owned and used. I had some trepidation about the clamping system and the size and shape of the MKX mirrors. As you can see from the photos, the tabs that insert between the outer mirror housing and the mirror and do not interfere with the operation of the remote control mirrors. When you tighten the ratchet, the tabs between the mirror and the mirror housing tighten against the housing, pulling away from the mirror to clamp and leaving plenty of room to adjust the OEM mirror. This is very advantageous when switching drivers and the other driver needs to adjust the mirrors for their seat position. The KS3891 towing mirrors have very little vibration while the vehicle is in motion, there isn't an annoying whistle from the straps, the soft rubber of the straps and ratchet have not left any marks on the painted OEM mirror surface, the turn signal on the mirror is blocked a little, but still quite visible. Also, the pool light on the underside of the mirror is slightly blocked, but still puts out the pool of light when approaching the vehicle in low light conditions. I would highly recommend these towing mirrors for the Lincoln MKX or Ford Edge. Thanks etrailer!
K-Source Universal Mirrors worked out great. Was planning to pull a new Airstream Trailer with my Toyota Highlander, problem was, I had traditional side-view mirrors, which gave me limited view of the trailer. With the Universal Mirrors, I had total view of my 19' Airstream Bambi. Since then, I've bought a truck with trailer mirrors, and plan to give the K-Source mirrors to a family member who recently purchased a travel trailer.
Seems like they should work ok but I had previously added small rectangular blind spot convex mirrors in the upper corner of my car's mirrors. My blind spot convex mirrors are so thick they are preventing these new towing mirrors from latching onto and holding onto the edge of the car mirror in this area. I need to try to remove the convex mirrors and reposition them so the towing mirrors will clip on, but they're held on pretty much permanently by adhesive and so far I have not been able to remove them.
Just got ‘em today. They were easy to install to install, and it was a tight fit to the mirrors. Only gave ‘em four stars ‘cause I haven’t given ‘em the baptism under fire. I’m sure that they’ll be ok. Great service.
George - 06/26/2021I was skeptical that they would fit on my large factory mirrors. I installed them both in about 45 minutes. I would recomend that the rachet straps be about 1 inch longer just to make the a little easer to get them started in rachet
Vehicle: 2018 Chev Express 2500 cargo van and travel trailer. After using for the last year and 10,000 miles, I can honestly give them 5 stars. A little fussy to put on correctly at the beginning but after that, they are rock solid. The straps have not loosened nor have the mirrors needed adjustment since. Definitely helps my field of vision when changing lanes while city driving and when backing up the trailer. Highly recommend.
Simple to use. Easy on, easy off as we only use it occasionally with our RV trailer during the summer months. Didn't need to spend a lot, but does the job when we need it.
The mirrors seem to be just what I needed. I was looking for original mirrors but they were not available for my new truck. Looks like I saved several hundred dollars. I have installed these mirrors but have not used them while towing my travel trailer yet.
I needed these to pull my camper. Attached easily and securely with the ratcheting straps, and the rubber looks durable. Worked great and gave me the extra visibility of the trailer I needed.
I installed them on my truck to see how they fit and I liked them. Adjusting the mirror distorted the view, I hope it is because they are brand new. Unfortunately, I won't be using the trailer for a good while for surgery reasons.
Mirrors work great, easy to install. Like the adjustable straps/clips. Once adjusted, easy off and back on with minimal or no further adjustment needed.
Although I thought I had ordered the model that the mirrors would actually rotate/move freely, I ended up being ok with what I got. Initially it was challenging getting the mirrors to adjust as I needed them (because mirrors have to be rotated to correct angle by taking a screw out and rotating it until you find what works for you) The straps work nicely - did a test run driving my truck to work today - no movement, straps were still tight upon arrival. I think for the money - these will work quite nicely for pulling/viewing behind me when pulling my camper.
I like these mirrors. They seem to be well thought out, sturdy, easily adjustable, and you can't beat the price. I couldn't see the wheels and sides of my boat trailer when I hauled my 17' boat 60 miles (mostly on the interstate) one way to my favorite boat launch while using the stock mirrors. These new mirrors did the trick. I find myself using these mirrors while overall driving while ignoring the stock mirrors. If I ever lose or damage one for whatever reason, I'll buy another.
These mirror extensions have worked very well and are very simple to put on and take off. I have a Jeep that is only 6 ft wide and a trailer that is 7 ft wide. Most of the time I have my trailer hooked up and when I don't I usually just leave the mirrors attached because they help when driving in heavy City traffic but they are very simple to take off and put back on if you are in need of removing them.
Fast delivery, great communication, very good products. I needed these for a road trip in my new Toyota truck. I was having trouble finding ones to fit, of good quality. These were so easy to install or uninstall and of good quality. I love the idea of the larger mirrors. I have greater seeing distance. I am a retired school bus driver and safety is my main concern, as I will be traveling by myself. I do recommend this product.
The Buick side mirrors are probably not made to have add-on mirror accessories. On the first trip, one of them fell off as we travelled over a bridge. So I only have one left. It was somewhat difficult to make the strap-on mirror hold on to the Buick. Cars these days are so streamlined, there was really no place to get a good grip. Still, these K-source mirrors were the best ones I could find. I would buy them again, but perhaps use tape to ensure they stay on for the trip. It was the only trip we made to get the boat towed to the water.
